With more eyes on the codebase, we can confirm the 5.5 hard fork is okay to use going forward. Read the full analysis and details in the Bitcointalk thread.

As with the last fork, this will take some time to migrate cross-platform wallets and services to the new chain (including TradeSatoshi–login required to view FLAP status), so please bear with us as various resources on this site still pertain to the Flappy 4.1 chain.

What Is FlappyCoin?

Flappycoin is peer-to-peer, decentralized cryptocurrency modeled after the extensively popular mobile phone game, “Flappy Bird.” Our currency has been resurrected by a group of dedicated developers, with full intent to restore Flappycoin to its former glory. Join the Flappycoin movement by becoming apart of our Community.

Your Second Chance To Board The Rocket!

We can be considered “A fresh cryptocurrency, with an experienced community”. This is your second chance to board the Flappycoin rocket! Mine some coins and become an elite member. Visit our wallet page, check out the pool mining page, follow our lively subreddit, and join us on Discord.

Why Flappy Bird?

This lovable creature first stole our hearts when it hit the global app stores. Millions flocked to the platform, intent upon tapping endlessly; avoiding various pipes and earning highly respected scores. Even years after the game had been pulled, Flappy Bird remained an important reminder of how a simple idea can foster an ever-growing global community.

What is Proof-of-Work?

Flappycoin sprung onto the crypto scene in 2014 as one of the popular proof-of-work (PoW) coins mined using the Scrypt algorithm. This allowed gamers to put their GPUs to good use and mine coins, securing our network with fast transactions at a block time of one minute. Check out our pool mining page and relive that experience. Flappycoin is tailored to use the Kimoto Gravity Well (KGW) difficulty-retargeting algorithm originally invented for Megacoin.

What about Proof-of-Stake?

We’re seeing tremendous interest from the community in proof-of-stake (PoS). For the future we’re considering PoS that rewards Flappycoin owners for actively participating in securing our blockchain network. Your wallet would have to remain open allowing it to communicate with others’, continuously confirming authenticity of all transactions on the network. Read more about the technicalities here. Initial directions has have suggested instituting a swap to an entirely new PoS-based Flappycoin, although other options are on the table too. Either way, now is the time to get your wallets full of the PoW Flappycoin and involve yourself with the community!
